Information on the Xbox 360 Wireless Internet Receiver.

If you have an Xbox 360 and you are interested in playing against strangers online then you will need the Xbox 360 wireless internet receiver. In 2006 Microsoft introduced the Xbox 360 wireless gaming receiver. The receiver allows Xbox 360 users to connect their wireless gamepads, headsets and racing wheels to their Windows based home computer.

The receiver is similar to the Xbox in that it does allow up to 4 controllers and headsets to be used simultaneously. The receiver has a range of about thirty feet and retails for about twenty US dollars. The receiver was designer to function with games that are labeled as "games for windows" and is supposed to work with all future versions of Xbox, meaning every time a new Xbox comes out, you do not have to purchase an additional receiver.
